If you truly think that the companies that sell VR's do not know already what people are doing with them, then this game isn't for you... The bloggers have them plastered all over the internet.. I just think it is stupid to write "code", then you get then noobs asking, "what is -4" and then people answer like they are suppose to know what it means...

Went to a local -4 and the cashier would only allow me to get a VR for a $20 purchase.

That's a first.

forget the beans...just buy the $500 VGC if they sell it its only $1 more fee. I found 2 -4 that sold them and they just verified that the name on the CC matched my ID.

Best perk of living in a college town where 95% of the population probably has a $500 or less limit... First day of actually searching for VRs, and I've found 3 gas stations that will sell them on CC.

I've found the same. Did this today and even asked the cashier "Can I buy this with a credit card" he simply replied "let's find out"

Unfortunately I was met with "No, Cash or debit card only" in every single 7-11 in town I have asked periodically. They do not even have VR, but VGC. Does not matter. The one I asked yesterday, cashier said, the register would take CC but you are not supposedly to accept credit card. Cash or debit card only.

So I saw a western union prepaid at the 711, I doubt I can buy it with cc but I was thinking of putting 20 bucks cash on it and see if I can load it with VR. It is in the mastercard repower network. Anyone tried this?

finding GC or VR at a gas station in Columbus Ohio
I have been all over and cannot locate one... I really feel embarrassed to ask but if anyone would PM me some hints I would be eternally grateful...

I have this 5% to burn and cannot seem to do it..
